<3 2 - Ujojoerside vandyke-brown, slightly darker, especially in 

 the 2 •> towards apex of fore wing. <$ . Fore wing : a costal and 

 two preapical spots white. Hind wing : the ocelli of the under- 

 side showing through, sometimes forming two or three obscure 

 black spots ; two slender subterminal black lines. Underside paler, 

 shaded with dark brown. Fore wing : narrow subbasal and outer 

 cellular transverse sinuous white lines ; an irregular broad discal 

 and a narrower postdiscal band white, forming a V? the latter 

 bearing a series of four blind, dusky-black, fulvous-ringed ocelli ; 

 the two preapical white spots as on the upperside, distinct 

 slender subterminal whitish and broader terminal ochraceous lines. 

 Hind wing : a subbasal transverse sinuous white line ; a postdiscal 

 arched series of six black ocelli, their centres disintegrated, their 

 inner ring ochraceous, outer brown, and the whole series bordered 

 inwardly and outwardly by lilacine white lines ; finally a slender 

 white subterminal and a broader ochraceous terminal line as on 

 the fore wing. — $ . Upperside differs in having a broad, oblique, 

 white, discal band on the fore wing and a spot below its posterior 

 end in interspace 1, the inner border of the band bi-emarginate, 

 the outer irregularly sinuous. Underside as in the <S , but the 

 markings more pronounced, the white discal band on fore wing 

 very prominent. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen brown ;
